You need to work on your analytical skills. You sound like a chick. Nobody's going to accuse you of political correctness. And you live in Santa Cruz don't you? How do you survive? EP

Tim, re: Fatuous nonsense No kidding, you are full of it. re: As for the market "coming back," it is down for the day in most sectors. If you mean it _could have been worse_, this is always true. My comments over the weekend were obviously not about minor movements in the late afternoon on a particular day, like today. So why didn't you sell your Intel? You could have easily made up for the cap gains by selling Monday and buying back at a latter date, right? Must have been patriotic, or a misplaced loyalty to your former employer? re: You need to work on your analytical skills. You sound like a chick. LOL, that's great. What an insult, I "sound like a chick". I haven't heard such an effective put down since grade school playgound. re: Those who sold Boeing and bought GD did very well. Gee, buy defense contractors at the start of a war, what a call. Sell commercial airline manufacturers when the airlines are almost going out of business, another deductive miracle. re: Let bloated companies like most of the airlines go out of business. I won't even comment. I note you didn't argue my comment that you were rude. John

tcmay, RE: The best way to help the economy is to let markets work. Let bloated companies like most of the airlines go out of business. Let hotels which overbuilt rooms go out of business. Don't bail _any_ companies or industries out. Well, we can agree on something after all. Bailing the airlines out at this point would be rewarding them for being over leveraged. We already have a tested mechanism for corporations that have too much leverage for their current environment--bankruptcy. If you reward a highly levered firm like UAL by keeping them from bankruptcy, there's nothing to prevent them from getting excessive leverage again. The risk has been removed. And in the process, a firm that didn't use excess leverage, such as Southwest Air, gets punished because they had a solid business model with a fraction of UAL's leverage.
